A few months ago, I was reading through my e-mail and came across this one:

    ” Hi Carrie,
     Hope you’re doing well! I’m writing because we’d love to feature your closet-office in the August issue of This Old House Magazine, in our Budget Redo column. In this column we highlight awesome money-saving projects, with credit to the homeowners who took them on. We also credit the homeowner’s blog within the magazine.
     Would you have time to talk to me about your closet-office project this week? It should only take about 30 minutes.
     Thanks so much for your time! Looking forward to hearing from you.
     Megan”
I started screaming and jumping up and down!!!  My kids and Better Half thought I had finally lost it!!  They were asking questions like “Are we going to Disney World?” , “Am I getting and insulin pump?”, “Did we win the lottery?”.  I handed my phone to My Better Half and although he didn’t jump up and down or scream when he read the e-mail, I knew he really wanted to.
